is suicide rejected because we deserve to suffer?

2022.3.28: news.relig/christian/
is suicide rejected because we deserve to suffer?:

. a Tucson public radio story about dying,

said the nurses in a place of dying

will often hear "life review" stories

that are triggered when they ask a visitor:

"you know the dying better than anyone,

are they in need?" 

. when the reporter mentioned that

life review stories can be dark,

I imagined the spouse of the dying basically hinting 

that the dying deserved this medical suffering.

. we are told that suicide is killing,

and the god has a commandment against killing,

but actually the rule is about suffering:

you are allowed to kill if it will 

increase the suffering of the judged,

but not if it will end the suffering of the innocent.

. but are the terminally sick really innocent

in the eyes of the god?

. how many deadly medical conditions are due to 

ignorance of what is healthy,

or willful carelessness, or gluttony?

3.29: 

or you could see the god cares for us:

. how are we supposed to learn from medical research

unless the sick are pushed into experiments

rather than be allowed to euthanize their suffering?

. banning suicide is not about deserving to suffer,

but deserving knowledge and empowerment.
